HOW TO EDIT A SENTENCE IN 1948 💙📚 #booksky #naked #dead ‘Aaah, he don’t do a fugging thing,’ Minetta said. Yes, in 1948 our delicate eyes weren’t ready for the real thing. Norman Mailer had to endure it when the publisher changed the true word to a silly word.

Book 37 of 2026 #Booksky Lots of the maths went waaaay over my head, but an invigorating read nonetheless. Especially struck by the suggestion that golden ratio and what we find beautiful might have an evolutionary basis - perhaps linked to our distant ancestors' ability to scan the environment?

Latest read, Vintage Vampire Stories (1846-1913); 9 stories from before Stoker's Dracula and 8 soon after. The 9 show that many of the conventions of the vampire were known. Stoker may have borrowed some of these ideas directly. Dracula still stands as the best of its era. #BookSky

Latest read (audio), The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin (written from 1771-1790); a great, practical but progressive man of letters & science. We were wiser when we chose leaders for their minds. Unfinished at his death (he was busy; building a city, a state, & a nation). #BookSky

The Irish do have a despairing quality of gaiety, but they have also a dour and brooding ghost that rides on their shoulders and peers in on their thoughts. Let them laugh too loudly, it sticks a long finger Down their throats. East of Eden, John Steinbeck 💙📚

When we read we get to live vicariously through our characters as they overcome their challenges. Mentally experiencing events through a story is never going to be as effective as experiencing the real... but it's pretty close. And very important to understanding ourselves and others. #wecontinue
